Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1908 — TO THE PUBLIC. [ARTICLE]

TO THE PUBLIC.

I have two very valuable inventions. One is “Horse Shoeing Stocks,” with which toe public is somewhat familiar, the other is a wagon coupling. These articles are now being manufactured by me and sold at a good profit. It takes money however, to enlarge the business, and I have decided to organize a stock company with a capital of (15,000, divided into 150 shares of (100 each. I will retain 75 shares for my inventions, patents and good will of the business, and offer to the citizens of Rensselaer and vicinity the remaining 75 shares, or as many thereof as may be necessary to secure a sufficient working capital to manufacture and place the goods on the market. The stock will be sold at par value, (100 per share. In offering this stock to the public at par, I will say, I will guarantee to each stock-holder a square deal and my earnest and untiring efforts to make this home enterprise a complete success, and I am confident that it will not only build up our city, but it will yield handsome profits to the purchasers of the stock. Respectfully,

LUTHER HEMPHILL.
